Time-sensitive care
If you need emergency contraception
Do not use online booking. Get help as soon as possible.
During clinic opening hours
Use the clinic’s walk-in service or call 020 7683 4103 for advice. Check clinic opening times and walk-in information before travelling.
If the clinic is closed
Contact a pharmacy, another sexual health service or NHS 111 to find urgent help. Do not wait for the clinic to reopen.
Emergency contraception needs to be used within 3 to 5 days after unprotected sex, depending on the method. The sooner you seek help, the better.
